Aaron and I are at O'Hare waiting to board our 22 hour flight to Bali. Just yesterday we took Amtrak from Milwaukee to Chicago to meet up with one of my oldest friends Nick. He was in from New York for his Birthday dinner that we were lucky enough to join in on. I can't quite sum up the experience of the meal at Alinea. We have a food hangover to say the least.

I met Thurman Fionn O'Herlihy when I moved to Milwaukee in 2001, he was 2 years old. Thurman is the first son of Micaela O'Herlihy. Nephew to Eilis O'Herlihy. Grandson to Danny O'Herlihy. He has the bloodline running through him of a vast family of thinkers, artists, makers and performers.

Portrait of Thurman by Micaela. I'm guessing this was painted between 2006-2008. It hangs in California with Thurman's grandmother Patricia.

Today Thurman turns 12. Here are some photos of him over the years to celebrate his life. I don't know what I would do without their family in my life- the lack of inspiration would be crippling.

Thurman's 3rd Birthday party

Micaela strapped everything to the roof of the car & then went west for a bit.

Micaela's Christmas present one year. I only have this saved since is was her artist photo from her bio in 2004-05, from an art show she did with me at Flying Fish Gallery.

Thurman's Birthday party in Milwaukee at Nicholas & Laura's house. I have not a clue what year this is from.

Hello.Over the past 10 years I've used this blog for various purposes. Before I had a website or instagram existed it provided me a home base for my photographs, acting as the core method of communication. I've also used it as a way to keep track of projects, events and places I am visiting.

Now that I'm not on the go as much I post less frequently, but will continue to make updates when I feel inspired.
